The WNBA season is in full swing, and Week 3 has brought some exciting developments. The Atlanta Dream continue their impressive run, securing their fourth consecutive win, while the Las Vegas Aces and other teams are making waves in the power rankings as the Commissioner's Cup begins.
Atlanta Dream: Riding High
The Atlanta Dream have been on a tear, winning four straight games, the longest active streak behind the undefeated Minnesota Lynx and New York Liberty. Guards Rhyne Howard and Allisha Gray have been instrumental, combining for 61 points in a recent comeback win over the Seattle Storm. Despite Brittney Griner's limited minutes due to a knee injury, forwards Nia Coffey and Naz Hillmon have stepped up admirably.
Las Vegas Aces: Revenge and Redemption
The Las Vegas Aces avenged an early-season loss to the Seattle Storm with a strong performance led by reigning MVP A'ja Wilson, who posted 35 points, 13 rebounds, and 6 assists in a dominant win over the Los Angeles Sparks. Wilson continues to lead the Aces in multiple statistical categories, proving why she's one of the league's elite players.
Commissioner's Cup Begins
As the league transitions into Commissioner's Cup play, the Minnesota Lynx and New York Liberty remain unbeaten and are favored to meet in the tournament final for the second consecutive year. The Liberty made history with a 48-point victory over the Connecticut Sun, tying their own record for most 3-pointers in a game.
Other Notable Performances
- Phoenix Mercury: Despite injuries, the Mercury are off to a strong start, with Satou Sabally leading the way.
- Washington Mystics: Veteran guard Brittney Sykes and rookie forward Kiki Iriafen are key contributors for the Mystics.
- Seattle Storm: After a three-game winning streak, the Storm have hit a rough patch, losing three straight.
Looking Ahead
As the season progresses, all eyes will be on the Commissioner's Cup and whether the Atlanta Dream can maintain their momentum. With key players returning from injury and teams finding their rhythm, the WNBA promises more thrilling action in the weeks to come.
